Good morning, Birdland!
The season is only 11 games old, but it’s already longer than I expected the Orioles to play like this. Every single night, the team is getting solid, sometimes spectacular, pitching performances. And every night the offense puts up one, maybe two, runs in a losing effort. Andrea recapped the latest disappointment, a 2-1 loss to the Athletics on Tuesday evening.
Chris Ellis came up from Norfolk to deliver 4.1 scoreless innings en route to a no decision. This came the night after Spenser Watkins allowed just one run over five innings, also saddled with a no decision.
